Tamworth I thought were fairly poor themselves. I don’t think they were anything special at all in all honesty. They were more physical and better drilled but that’s about it.
One thing I will say is we look lightweight in midfield. Scales get’s bullied out of it and Butterfield is now ineffective. Clunan is ok but nothing more than that.
I know Beestin is still struggling in terms of match fitness but I’d go him and Pugh in the middle with Clunan behind them with Scales on the right wing with Ferris on the left with Whitehall through the middle.
The CM area needs beefing up. I know it’s a risk playing Beestin there but he’ll be fitter after last night and with more game time he’ll get back to not looking like he’s playing in lead boots.
If Dean was more tactically clued up then he’d change it up and move Butterfield much further forward in a no 10 role and play him behind Whitehall in a bid to get him time on the ball but he only knows one way of playing.
Can’t agree with that, thought they put in a very good performance; as an away fan you’d be absolutely delighted with the way they played and it’s no fluke they are on such an incredible run.
Saturday will be interesting, does he double down on the 4-3-3 and the same personnel? The post match interview was concerning as he didn’t seem to acknowledge none of it was really working before the red card.
Personally, I haven’t seen nothing from Clunan since he returned from injury to suggest he should be starting, Beestin just doesn’t look fit enough either so I’d consider putting Pugh and Sembie Ferris in the starting line up. Butterfield has to be further up the field too, I’d almost play him as a second striker and end up in more of a 4-2-3-1 which was more or less the way we set up earlier in the league.

Chris skinner was one of the few on the Facebook group who gave Herbert what for before his, and Hilton’s eventual downfall.

About 600, train prices were never cheap when tickets first came out so put a lot of going, on the day £64.20 and people paid it.
Very good, especially with the time of year.
Looks like a fair few Scunny fans are going in the home end for S’boro, hopefully not a repeat of the scenes at the hawthorns today.

Doesn’t help the admin are as thick as two short planks but vindictive with it aswell. Place should’ve been closed when Hilton left the building

Some do.
Perhaps, I’ve seen very little humility on that Facebook group after months of abuse from the sycophants. Should really move on but it Stil fees bitter the way they treated fellow supporters and the part they played in endorsing Hilton even after the supporters bans etc.
On the flip side, this past year has shown the very best of Scunthorpe supporters. I always thought apathy would eventually kill us but the town fought for the club when it mattered.

Aspiring manager?
Players showing promise?I thought this site got into trouble for libel

Thought it was worth a mention that Stuart Maw has recently tried to encourage Liverpool fans to participate in the draw. Not sure on the connection but regardless, his video has had over 50k views and looks to have persuaded people to participate.
Good work!

Cant say im adhered to Jimmy but he’s filling the brief just like Alexander so why anyone is talking of his demise beats me.
Agreed.
Thought he would’ve had more credit in the bank tbh, especially with the way he’s carried himself since been here.
The remit this year is promotion, if we fail that then he has to go, but until then he has my full support.
Tip of the iceberg for the amount of crap that Jimmy, the staff and the players had to put up with.
All credit to them for sticking around and remaining so professional

Still don’t get the reasoning behind recalling DSF. Let the lad enjoy playing regular football, and if they are contributing towards wages it’s a win/win- same with Pugh.
Following on from the Swann era we seem to believe it necessary to have 2/3 players for each position. Certainly not sustainable given our current financial woes.
Smith was a good player for us, but saving on his wages can only be a good thing.

First and foremost, it was refreshing to see a side actually come here to play and win a game playing decent football. Felt like a proper league game for a change.
First half was some of the best stuff I’ve seen us play all year, the direct balls worked a treat and roberts had so much freedom down the right hand side. Really impressed with Elliot and his link up play too. Boston’s only hope was grabbing a goal through a set play, and unfortunately that turned out to be correct.
Still not sure exactly what went wrong second half, there seemed to be so many gaps across the midfield and we lost the majority of second balls from our defence. Credit to Boston though who created a number of chances and were all worth a point in the end.
Certainly not the end of the world as some of the doom and gloom merchants are bellowing on Twitter, but Tamworth are showing no signs of letting up so we have to follow this up with consecutive wins again if we are to take the title.
Another decent crowd too.

On course for 25 goals this year. Sure there are parts of his game he can improve on and I’m not a fan of the play acting, but he’s doing the job he’s paid to do and sticking it in the back of the net.
Actually thought December was his best month for us too.
